Refinishing, refacing or replacing: which do you need?

  • Refinishing / painting – your cabinet boxes and doors are solid and you like the layout. Lowest cost, done in days.

  • Refacing – keep the boxes, replace doors and drawer fronts with a new style such as Shaker.

  • Replacing – the boxes are damaged or you want a new layout. Highest cost and the longest time without a kitchen.

Planning a full kitchen refresh? Prestige can also install a new backsplash (from about $1,200), quartz countertops (about $4,500 for an average kitchen) and vinyl plank flooring (about $800 – $1,500 depending on the floor).
